Nomenclature Information:
Name: GA AM27 Anti-Material Weapon
Type: Gauss
Model: AM27
Role: Military Anti-Material Rifle
Layout: Bullpup
Length: Total: 1800mm, Barrel: 1200 mm
Weight: 20kg
Discharge Information:
Projection/ammo type: Solid
Firing Mechanism: Rail-type Linear Accelerator
Caliber: 20x75mm
Cartage: 15x60mm bullet, with 20x75mm base-type cylindrical sabot.
Effective Range: 1500 meters
Maximum Range: 2300 meters
Minimum Range: 50m for sabot to disengage, retains lethality with sabot attached.
Muzzle Velocity: 3000 m/s
Muzzle Blast: None, sabot discarded within fifty meters.
Rate of Fire: 600r/m, in practice much less.
Firing Mode(s): Semi automatic.
Recoil: Heavy recoil.
Ammo Description:
Name: 20x75mm APFSDS.
General Description: Boat tail tungsten rod encased in a base-type sabot. Rectangular in shape, with a large ‘scoop’ on the forward components of the sabot to allow air resistance to disengage the sabots outward from the penetrator in flight.
Ammo: 15 round box magazine, side feed.
Bullet Description: Boat tail tungsten rod with 2.5mm stabilizer fins.
Weapon Mechanisms:
Safety: Disengages feed mechanism and power supply, incorporated into fire selector.
Fire mode selector: safe and semi.
Weapon Sight: Rail mount as standard. Comes factory equipped with a 10/15/30/45x optical sight.
Attachment Hard points: Picatinny rail system on top of weapon. Tripod mounting on the base of the weapon, comes factory standard with a self-leveling low setup tripod.
Maintenance Information:
Field Maintenance Procedure:
Clear and safe weapon.
Remove power cell and magazine.
Open top of heat shield/coil assembly and remove accelerator coils.
Check coils for obvious defects and clean any obstructions.
Open check panel and ensure that power leads are not compromised.
Clean contacts of battery and ensure that there is not corrosion.
Reinsert accelerator coils and close and lock heat shield/coil assembly.
Replace battery.
Ensure that weapon still cycles.
Replace magazine.
Replaceable Parts and components:
Accelerator coils, power leads, heat shields
History:
More a crew serviced weapon then a traditional anti material rifle, the AM27 is designed to deal with light/medium targets on the battlefield. The raw velocity of the projectile makes it impractical to fire from anything but a fixed mounting, but gives it an effectively instant time-on-target out to the horizon. The AM27 draws most of its’ destructive power from kinetic energy, impacting at sea level in excess of Mach 10.
